Tune In

     Over the past few days in English class, I have heard bits and pieces of songs such as "Thriller" and "Hello, Again." I look around the room and see all of my fellow students either staring off into space or with their heads down looking at the floor. I am not sure whether to dance, sing along, or bop my head to the rhythm of the music. Sometimes I want to just get up and start dancing to make myself feel less awkward, but I know that would end horribly. Off of this note, I have decided to make an AP English 12 playlist which I feel reflects our classroom and English class as a whole. I hope you enjoy!

1. Don't Let Me Fall- B.O.B
*AP English 12 students help each other out when times are tough. We encourage one another to work hard and always lend a helping hand.
2. I Feel Good-James Brown
*This song should be played immediately after turning in a data sheet!
3. Tubthumping-Chumbawamba
*This song goes out to every student who has ever received a 4 or below on their papers. Don't give up! "I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down."
4. Bossy-Kelis
*I dedicate this song to Ms. Serensky. "You don't have to love me. You don't even have to like me. But you will respect me..You know why? 'Cause I'm THE BOSS."
5. Big Girls Don't Cry-Fergie
*This is dedicated to every girl in AP English 12 who feels like they might start crying after a bad grade or a horrible discussion.
6. I Will Survive-Gloria Gaynor
This song brings back memories from AP English 11. "At first I was afraid. I was petrified."
7. Breathe, Stretch, Shake-Mase
*Think of this song before we write an in-class essay or take the AP test. We all need to “breathe, stretch, shake and let it go.”
8. We're all in this Together-High School Musical
*Cheesy, but true.
9. Stronger-Kanye West
*AP English has made me so much smarter and stronger than I ever thought possible. I think many students can agree with me on this one.
10. Remember the Name-Fort Minor
*Ms. Serensky-Never forget the Class of 2011!
